Snow Angels
I don’t really even know where to begin with this movie. I don’t know what to say about it. Overall it was an alright movie, I liked some part of it and I didn’t like some part of it. I think for the most part I didn’t like the …
Eat Pray Love: The Movie
For those of you going through a midlife crisis (like me), you can easily identify with Eat Pray Love. It stars Julia Roberts, who after going through some difficult times, travels to Italy to eat, to India to pray, and finally to Bali to fall in love. It is …
The Guardian, Andrew Davis Movie
Legend of Hero Savior in Ocean
“To have other people can live,” said the motto of the U.S. Coast Guard, the story can be enjoyed in the recent film director Andrew Davis, The Guardian. In wholesaler Oscar stars Kevin Costner and the young actor Ashton Kutcher, “The Guardian” recounts …
The Merchant of Venice Movie
We have watched the movie Merchant of Venice when we were assigned to do a role play for our presentation when we were in college.
The story started when Bassario asked his friend Antonio who was a merchant to lend him money for him to be able to court the …
Lego Batman: The Movie
With the recent “Lego” movie thriving at the box office, I decided to take a look back at its quasi-official predecessor, a direct to video movie that tied into the “Lego Batman” video game franchise, more specifically, the sequel that brought in several of the other heroes that inhabit …
Movie Untraceable
I am reviewing the 2008 movie, Untraceable, starring Diane Lane and Colin Hanks. So there is this killer. He has a site called kill with me. He traps people and then sets up scenarios to kill them. He tapes everything and puts it online. The more people who …
The Extra Man movie 2010
At one point I wondered why there aren’t more eccentric characters in one film. The answer is that they not occur. It seems that you can not cram a young English teacher with bizarre sexual inclinations, an old bearded playwright gigolo and a mechanic with a high voice who …
Transformer : Their War Our World Movie
At the beginning I did not interested watching this kind of movie. It was my hobby when I was a kid, so it might be a little bit funny if I want to see the robot movie. Time to time, I also knew that there were many robot movie …
Black Snake Moan (R,2007) movie
After watching this film, I think I understand why this movie did not fare so well at the box office. It’s going to take a strong stomach for the majority of Americans to be “okay” with observing a weathered black man keeping a sexually depraved young white woman on …
1408
What’s up with horror or thriller movies with numbers…? But the idea works for me. In 1408, I was scared out of my mind, truly. I watched it on DVD pretty recently and luckily my relatives were around.
The 3 of us, that is. We …
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …
Rocky Horror Picture Show
While I’ve never felt the urge to do any cross dressing, I have to admit I’m almost as big of a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show as many of the people who do go that far.
I had never seen this movie until I met my wife and …
Last Days movie
Gus Van Sant is next to Jim Jarmusch probably the most interesting american independent filmmaker from the last 15 to 20 years. Last Days is his film that apparently tells the story of the last days of legendary Nirvana-member Kurt Cobain. The autentic names and songs in the Cobains …
Eight Legged Freaks
My wife and I were in the mood for a good movie the other day but didn’t want to watch a new release just yet (we were both tired out). So, I ended up watching the movie Eight Legged Freaks instead.
When I started watching this movie, I thought it …
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Meet the Fockers, directed by Jay Roach is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for crude and sexual humor, language and a brief drug reference. The original release date was December 22, 2004 for United States audiences. This movie falls in the genre of Comedy/Romance and …
This Is It movie
I have always been a Michael Jackson fan, and as long as I can remember, I loved his music and was in awe of his dancing ability. As with almost everyone I know, his death was a shock, and I wanted to see the new movie about his last …
Drowning Mona
Drowning Mona is a very funny movie inspite of the fact that a lady dies in the very opening scene. The woman is Mona and Bette Midler played the character in a very convincing and powerful way. She dies in the very first scene when her car falls in …
Annie movie
Annie is the early 1980’s movie of Little Orphan Annie.
Aileen Quinn is the young lady who plays the title role.
I really thought this adaptation of the popular comic strip and play was well done.
This musical was produced really well.
Quinn does a wonderful job as the precocious Annie.
Carole …
Biutiful movie
Barcelona, a lively and colorful city of beautiful landscapes and buildings, two young and beautiful tourist in search of adventure, all gathered in a romantic drama full of humor that is the essence of the film Vicky Cristina Barcelona , which seems to take place in a world completely …
Alien 2 Aliens Special Edition 1986 BluRay Movie
When I got Alien 1 on Blu-Ray, I continued my collection with Aliens 1986 Special Edition. I loved the original movie and when my fears were quieted about the Alien films being changed with the Special Editions or Director’s Cuts, I was looking forward to seeing what was added …
Dream Girls
Maybe it’s because I’m watching it on cable before 8 in the morning, but the movie Dream Girls just isn’t as good as I expected it to be.
I would think a movie about a 60s female singing group would make a great musical to watch. But, for the most …
Flashbacks of a Fool
Flashbacks of a Fool is a film which tells an intimate human story of squandered chances, life changing mistakes and misplaced choices. Daniel Craig plays Joe Scot, a Hollywood actor living a life of excess who is losing his grip on the things that should matter in his life. …

Supernatural:Monster movie
The director decided to go Vintage style and so this episode is black and white. Right from the start to the end,it is in black and white. Well not much of a difference actually,because the show does not sport bright colors,which is with keeping with the theme of the …
Song of the Gringo movie
Song of the Gringo from 1936 is actually Tex Ritter’s first movie role. He does a decent job as he enters the rank of the singing cowboy, which ruled the era in many ways. Being his first picture, he doesn’t have a sidekick and poor White Flash, …
The Incredible Mr. Limpet movie
The final Warner Brothers’ animated movie of its era, The Incredible Mr. Limpet is an awesome piece of entertainment. The film features Don Knotts as Henry Limpet, who has always wanted to be a fish. Oh, if wishes could come true. Well, for Henry Limpet, it …
Vacancy movie
What a messed up movie. The NRA should seriously show this to far left people who want to get as close to repealing the Second Amendment as humanly possible as it’s situations like this where having a gun would be really good.
This isn’t a political piece by any …
Movie Eastern Promises
The best word to discribe the drama movie “Eastern Promises” is shocking. It starts with a huge shock and there is quite some few shocks during the movie too. All in all, it is a truly exceptional movie.
“Eastern Promises” is all about the actor, Viggo Mortensen. I didn’t realise …
Reviewing - Hitch
Hitch - can be summed up with one word - hilarious ! Will Smith and Kevin James are side achingly funny ! Hitch’s {Will Smith } job is to get the girl of any man’s dreams to fall in love with him in 3 days ! It works like …
Movie: Rudy
Synopsis: A young man decides to go to Notre Dame and spends three years on the team’s practice squad hoping he will eventually be allowed to dress for one of the games.
What I like about this movie: This is a film that can be inspiring in a way. You …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Avenger Episode 1 (Anime)
Avenger Episode 1 starts in a bleak wasteland, on the planet Mars in the distant future. There a gladiator named Layla Ashley sits in a tub talking to herself about asking someone to try to kill her. A bunch of robotic servants, known as dolls bring her …
Pickford Theatre
The Pickford Theatre located at 1416 Cornwall Avenue in Bellingham, Washington is my favorite movie house ever. The theatre tends to show thoughtful, intelligent films from around the world. Recently I’ve seen “The Queen,” ” Vajra Sky Over Tibet,” and “Little Miss Sunshine. Currently “Iran in Fragments” is …
Lord of War (2005)
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Bridget Moynahan, Jared Leto, Ethan Hawke, Eamonn Walker, Ian Holm, Sammi Rotibi, and Yevgeni Lazarev.
Directed by: Andrew Niccol.
Lord of War is a highly entertaining and smart political crime thriller. This was made in 2005? Wow, that’s hard to believe amidst 99.9% of the garbage that is …
The Movie Sleepy Hollow
When I was in middle school Sleepy Hollow was the movie to see. Of course, it was not necessarily a movie that middle school children should have watched but that did not mean anything to us then. All most of my friends and I wanted to see was Johnny …
The Blob movie
Mostly famous because an unknown Steve McQeeen plays the leading part. A some sort of monster movie, with a red blob taking over a whole city as it grows. I thought this was a comedy at first, because the dialogue was so corny. Poor Stevie struggles with silly lines …
Seven Pounds Movie
I found Seven Pounds to be very intense and a tad complicated. To be honest I did not know what was going on until probably the last 20 minutes of the movie. I usually like movies with a twist, but Seven pounds unfortunately did not meet my expectations, especially …
Ratatouille
Ratatouille is an animated movie about a rat called Remy. The great thing about Remy is, although he is a rat with a destiny to live in a dirty environment, he loves to cook, which absolutely needs a clean environment. This movie is about Remy’s journey to be a …
Movie P.S. I Love You (2007)
P.S. I Love You (2007) is pure bliss. I love watching this DVD each time pretty much. I love looking at the way Hillary Swank acts and she always has this rapport with the camera.
I think the camera really loves her, truly. Holly Kennedy is …
Miami Vice (2006)
Don’t rent or buy this movie if you’re expecting to see a big screen version of “Miami Vice” that mirrors the slick coolness of the television show it is based upon. Colin Farrell, as Detective Sonny Crockett, doesn’t come anywhere close to having Don Johnson’s rakish swagger. …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
IF you want to see a really cute movie, you need to see “Alvin and the Chipmunks”. It is such a cute movie.
I think there are many reasons why I like this movie so much. The first reason is that I grew up with Alvin, Simon and …
Cassanova movie
I’ve always heard of people referring to womanizers as “Cassanovas” but I never knew where that reference originated. I always wondered if there was actually a man in history who was named Cassanova and used to be a smooth talking womanizer but I had never actually taken the time …
Dude, Where’s My Car? (2000)

Due Date (movie)
The movie “Due Date” was a pleasant surprise because I didn’t expect that I would enjoy it so much. In the movie, a man played by the actor Robert Downy Jr. drives across the United States along with a struggling actor who got him kicked off a plane so …
Movie Passion of Christ
‘Passion of Christ’ is a movie in which you can see the suffering of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus Christ as he is whipped, flogged and dragged with the cross before being nailed. This movie is directed by …
The Dark Knight
The Dark Night lives up to all of the hype surrounding its release and deserves the overwhelming amount of money it earned. The open sequence is a perfect introduction to the main villain of the movie, the Joker. A bank heist …
Queen Margot DVD

Pet Shop of Horrors Episode 3 begins with the police finding the body of a down and out actor Robin Hendrix. Detective Leon finds clues that lead him back to Count D.’s pet shop where Count D. tells him that he sold Mr. Hendrix a rare lizard called …
The Haunted Mansion
This 2003 release was obviously meant to be a “spooky comedy” of sorts, with ghosts and zombies who come alive in their tomb in a most inconvenient time. Perhaps some kids liked it, and perhaps it was okay to watch once for some adults. But to me, it was …
